Harm None: Chapter Ten-

"Need those power cells from the crash ship right away." Fry said. She stopped short when her and Johns reached the skiff. "Shit still gotta check out the hull, patch the wings.."
"Lets wait on those pwer cells,"Johns suggested.
"Wait-for what? Until its so dark we cant find our ways back to..."
"We're not sure when it happens. So lets not..."
"Get the fucking cells over here Johns. Whats the discussion?"
"For one thing that little bitch Harm, shes startin to live up to her name somehow. That little innocent girl routine was just that. And act. I dont like it. Way shes always around Riddick. I dont trust her one bit. Shes Riddick's whore."
Fry had noticed the change too. She knew Harm wasnt who they thought she was anymore. "She hasnt done anything to hurt us.Why would you call her Riddick's whore?"
"No she hasnt. Yet. But ill just bet shes got something planned. I dont trust her one bit. How'd she know bout the eclipse. Besides what else do you think her and Riddick were doin when they ran off? Playing cards."
Fry knew it made sense. Harm and Riddick had been getting real close. And how did she know bout the eclipse. " Well what does this have to do with the power cells?"
"Ever tell you how Riddick escaped?"



Harm had listened to Fry and Johns'whole conversation. Unknown to them that she could hear up to a mile radius. They said everything Harm figured they would. She wasnt going to keep things secret much longer. She didnt see the use in it. 'These people are going to die anyway. Might as well let it happen.'
*Damn good idea.* Riddick said.
Harm walked over to Riddick, who was shaving his head. "Well I guess we should sit here and wait for the fun to start. Is that the plan?"
"Thats the plan." Riddick said stroking the shiv across his head making it smooth to the touch.
"Your whore." Harm said disgustedly. "I really think Johns should be killed. Oh wait hes already gonna be killed. Riiight. Still your whore."
"Thats what you are."
Harm hit Riddick on the back of his head but he just smiled, grabbed her wrist and dragged her across his lap putting his *grooming appliance* to her throat. "Well now isnt this familiar."
"Hey isnt this familiar." Harm said grabbing his wrist and pushing it away." Besides i remember telling you to keep the chains."
"And i remember telling you 'as long as youll be wearing them.'"
"Oh you are so complicated."
"Really now. i figured i was making myself quit clear."
"Why do i even bother?"
"Because everytime your around me i seem to make you pray to Imam's god incessantly." Harm understood exactly what he meant by the perverse comment.
Jack seeing Harm and Riddick walked over interestedly. Harm grabbed Jack just as she came in range and started tickling her. When Jack was finally out of breath Harm put her arms around Jack. "So are you two like an item now or what?"
"We got a lifetime of lovin ahead of us but yeah we're an item if thats what you wanna call it."
"Whadya mean lifetime? Like your gonna get married or something?"
Harm looked up at Riddick for a little help in explaining their situation but Riddick just smiled down at her. *Its all you.*
*Gee thanks lover boy.* Riddick just laughed. "Well uh in a way we're kinna already...uh..."
"You guys are already married!"
"In my culture yeah. We're already married."
"Way cool."
"So kid are you ready for a FUBAR ride?"
"You know i still cant figure out what that means. I dont know German or course so could you like tell me?"
Harm just smiled. *So you heard the Johns/Fry conversation. You know what comes next.*
*Yeah.*



Riddick had listened with his sensitive hearing as Johns told Fry his story about his escape. He even listened as Johns admitted to lying about trusting Riddick. 'Shitless bastard knew he wastn about to hold up his end.'
*Was there ever any doubt?* Harm said. Her and Jack had gone to help Shazza with the repairs to the Sand Cat.
*No never a doubt. Not when it comes to Johns.* Riddick was still getting used to his new powers but he had always been a fast learner. 'Why would Fry stand up for me anyway?'
*Cause shes a true human.*
*You mean she feels guilty for the 'Purge All'*
*Yeah that and other reasons possibly. Watch how you judge her. She goes by your rule. Save thine own ass. But she always has compassion.*
*Yeah thats what attracted me to her. Her instinct for survival. And what about you? What do you make me out to be?*
*I know everything about you Riddick. You may not have noticed it yet but you too have compassion. And also watch how you describe other females to me. I like Fry and id really hate to hurt her just because im Arian.*
Riddick laughed at her jealousy. *Compassion. For what? Fry? You?*
*Innocence. Criminal though you maybe your still a man. If theres one thing you cant stand its someone hurting an innocent. So to say a child. Or children. Like the two kids Johns killed and the two more he threatened. You would have given your life for those children.*
*If you really believe that then you dont know everything about me. But truthfully, not like i could lie to you, yeah I hate it when someone thinks it makes them tough by hurting a helpless person.*
*Its a general code amongst many. Especially Arians. You are an honorable man Riddick and an Arian must always have honor.*
Riddick watched as Johns exited the skiff. Johns was leaning against the skiff. *Withdrawls a bitch.* Harm said laughing softly. "Bad sign, shakin like that."
"Thought we said no shivs."
"This?" Riddick said in innocence holding up the knife. "This is a personal grooming appliance."
*So i guess youll be talking to Fry next.*
*Thought entered my mind.*
*Riddick. Dont play around. You go in there and you talk to her. Its not a good idea to see what would happen if you got an Arian woman mad. Its not a game. We are predators*
*So i guess sex is off.* Riddick heard a low growl in his head. He knew where the teasing should end but he still liked things to be hot.
Harm listened to Fry and Riddick's whole conversation. She saw it through Riddick's eyes. She controlled her instincts whish were to hurt Fry severely because her and Riddick were so close. Harm had gone into one of the darked buildings to get away fromt he bright suns. She now layed on the large table in the middle of the room resting. She listened as she heard footsteps coming toward the room. She knew he thought he was being quiet but Harm could pick up every little thing. She could smell him. A foul stinch to Harm's senses. She made her move the moment Johns put his gun to her head. She moved with supernatural speed. She grabbed the gun from Johns and pushed him up against the far wall. Before he even regained his balance Harm was upon him.She put the fun to his head. "I vaguely remember this episode with you and Riddick."
"What are you?" Johns stammered out.
"Something little human boys like you shouldnt be playing with."Harm threw Johns gun toward the door then lept all the way backwards onto her resting spot on the table. Johns regained his composure thinking he had the upper hand. "I know you and Big Evil got something goin on."
"Do you now? So what do we have goin on?"
"Your fuckin him i know."
"Well that mustve took alotta hard thinking on your part."
"What i dont know is what your gettin outta this."
"What it thats what im getting outta this. A good fuck."
"You might as well face it girl. He aint worth it. Im taking him any wya i can get him. Dead or alive. Alive hes worth a helluva lot more though."
*Oh look Riddick you know Johns so well.*
"Ill take him back dead though.Just as long as i get to kill him."
"That would be a big mistake. How would you be able to take Riddick back dead or alive if your dead." Harm said menacingly. Her statement struck a cord in Johns. He could now feel it all around him. His instincts screamed it. Danger. He looked into Harms eyes and knew true fear. He couldnt tell what color her eyes were right now because the colored parts, the irises, were reduceds to almost invisible rings. Her eyes were all pupil. Like a cat's at maximum dialation. Something screamed for Johns to run. He backed toward the door keeping his eyes on Harms the whole time. He barely tripped over his own gun. He bent down picked it up and backed out of the door. Never breaking eye contact with Harm. He needed something to calm his nerves. Something to sweep away the coldness and warm him up. He needed morphine.



Harm and Riddick watched as one of the rings of the other planet peeked over the horizon. "Well baby are you ready for this?" Harm whispered.
"im always ready for something."
"Oh well this sure as hell is something. Im gonna try to use my Arian powers if i can. Because my brothers and i were so young we never had a teacher to show us how to control our powers."
"Which means?"
"I might not be able to make my powers stop once they are used. I dont even know what i can do. Plus they have been dormant for centuries maybe more. If i try to use them they may get outta hand. Any number of things could happen."
"Then dont use them unless you have to."
"I know i wont e able to keep my true identity from these ppl. Besides im stronger in my original form. I think you might be able to change too. It normally takes time for a male from another race to adapt to our form."
"Ill stick with my human form. Ill only use things when they need usin."
They listened as everyone jumped onto the Sand Cat. "Thats our cue. Lets go."



"Wait! Wheres Riddick and Harm?" jack screamed.
"Leave them." Paris said. Right then Riddick and Harm jumped down into the Sand Cat. "Oh thought wed lost you."
"Sorry to disappoint you." Harm said into Paris' ear making him jump in surprise at not knowing that she was behind him.
Johns ran for the Sand Cat. Riddick grabbed him and lifted him into it. "Wouldnt wanna miss this." Riddick said witha smile.
